The Hamlet is valued at £0.5, with a taxable value of 1 Geld Unit, and a population of 4 households.

Post 1600

Appleby Parva was owned by the Moore Family in the 1600s. Sir John Moore founded a free grammar school in Appleby Magna in 1702. The Moore’s demolished the existing manor house in 1770; they constructed another house on the site known as Appleby House. Appleby Hall was built between 1832 and 1838 and extended to 4,500 acres in 1832. The family’s fortunes had turned in the 1880s when the Agricultural slump caused revenues to fall sharply. Attempts to save the estate by searching for coal failed.
